When I first heard about Brian Peskin, I was excited to try these organic parent oils, I decided on organic hemp seed oil, and flax seed oil. Finding unoxidized flax seed oil was hard i tried 3 brands before finding one that tasted decent, not rancid.
However, a month or so later after little benefit or improvement noticed, I decided pure oils are not the way to go.
The way to go is all organic breakfast, the organic part is important since pesticides get incorporated into the fat of these plants. You don’t want glyphosate destroying your gut lining.
Organic quick oatmeal, raw whole seeds ground up before adding to oatmeal. This is the way.
I am now adding: Freshly ground organic raw: flax seeds, chia seeds, hulled pumpkin seeds, hulled sunflower seeds, hulled sesame seeds. I also add a bit of beans. I bought a coffee bean grinder for 20 bucks, a blender will work also.
It gives me plenty of unadulterated parent omega 3 and 6. There is plenty of fiber also which feeds gut bacteria which in turn produce beneficial short chain fatty acids. I add 30g of vanilla flavored protein, and 6 grams collagen. and take some vitamin c with it. A lot of people like adding fruits and raisins to their oatmeal, the vanilla flavor is enough for me to get it down easily. I don’t want too much sugar, and I am handling it well after eating, not tired, I just feel good.
There’s a few notable people that suggest the same thing, that is Dr. Fuhrman. He recommends starting your day with oatmeal and ground up flax and chia seeds, and whatever else to add to it. He also talks a lot about beans and their benefits. He says the more nuts and seeds you eat, and beans you eat, the longer you live, and the healthier you will be.
It’s funny I also listen to the carnivores that say oatmeal is terrible for you. I enjoy reading the comments of people saying their grandparents lived long lives on oatmeal every morning.
Also Will Bulsiewicz, this author of Fiber Fueled, which I havent read yet. Has some good interviews on the benefits of fiber on gut health and the microbiome. So ya with raw ground seeds every morning, i’m getting the best of both worlds.
Preground flax is trash because it’s likely oxidized when you get it, It’s a good idea to store your raw nuts in the fridge. Pure oil is trash because your body can’t handle it fast enough and stores it as fat. Fiber mixed with good fat provide a steady drip of nutrient absorption.
And I guess we’ll see just how beneficial it is after a month or so of eating this way!
